siege defence

Summary: Player army automatically ejected from settlements when another faction declares war on the player owned faction during a siege. This is comparable to another scenario in the forums: https://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php?threads/booted-from-town-during-siege.455006/ Looks like a patch...

Summary: When defending a castle i got a vote to make peace with different empire than the one sieging the castle, after i vote i get thrown out of the siege. I play vanilla. How to Reproduce: i just loaded the save again and the same thing happened as is desplayed in the video Have you used...

Summary: Part of this old bug from 1.7.0 is back in 1.8.0 again. See old thread: https://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php?threads/siege-defense-issues.448852/ 1) Manual troop setup for all formations gets automatically overwritten with F6 command when starting battle, no matter if F6 was enabled...

Summary: During a defensive siege, if a fief is taken the players party will get kicked out of the settlement. No longer being a part of the defense. How to Reproduce: Be active in defense of a settlement (In this case the town was Pen Cannoc) while another settlement is taken by players faction...

Summary: Hello, After some time playing in beta branch 1.8.0 I wanted to share my observations and possible bug reports. My save was started in 1.6.0 apparently, when trying to launch beta I was reminded of that. Had to rollback my game version to 1.7.0 and make new saves before launching...

Siege battle realy need some small improvement that would make some playthroughs much more viable: Arrow Barrels should also provides bolts and javelin/throwing axes (the last two could be discussed). I went for a crossbow playthrough, and their only advantages against bows is precision, while...

Summary: While in a defense siege in Veron Castle I noticed my troops were getting stuck on the stairs to the right of the gatehouse. Walking there I found that I could stand on top of something invisible likely caused by the wall clipping through the ground where those stairs are. How to...

Does anyone know where to tweak gate health, wall health, siege engine health, siege engine damage, etc in both the campaign map and siege battle scenarios? I could not find the xml file except for siegeengines.xml. The only tweak-able values there are the ones that affect only some aspects of...

Summary:In Amprela there are 2 spots of balistas with some kind of short walls. These walls are preventing ai to reach them but your character can jump over them and can access the balistas. Only posible way to reach them is jumping over the short wall. Also there are not any arrow buckets in...

Summary: 1) Manual troop setup for all formations gets automatically overwritten with F6 command when starting battle, no matter if F6 was enabled or disabled during deployment phase. 2) During siege defence setup, cavalry and horse archers are put into infantry and ranged groups respectively...

Can anyone else tell there troops to defend certain aspects of the wall or the streets? Was trying to form a last stand at a castle but my troops kept wanting to go to the walls when all hope was lost. TW, is this going to be updated to where we can command/deploy our troops and have them...

I've been seeing some strange behaviour which must be linked to how the AI calculates their risk. Noticing this on version 1.6.4. Situation: Atrion castle is under attack. One AI army (1) is close to Rhesos castle and the other (2) near Saneopa. I'm on the Calradia expanded map so there is a...

Do you think it is normal for a player to retreat an infinite number of times while defending a castle? I simulated a situation where I with 100 archers pushed back 1.5k army, just shooting while they approached the walls, and then retreated and did it again and again until victory! From my...

For new siege scenes I would like to suggest destructible doors from the walls to the inside of the towers. Combine this with acces to the walls restricted through staircases inside the towers. This will leave the attacking force vulnerable and exposed on top of the wall. See other...

Summary: In many of the sieges I have defended, the AI only protects one of the two ladders or not at all. This allows troops to flow into the castle and usually open the gates. In some sieges there is an excess of troops standing in front of the gate while hardly any are on the walls...

After many hours of gameplay, I finally had the opportunity to defend my town...and it was glorious! The Aserai invaded with a force of 1600 soldiers vs my elite army of 500. Suffice to say, I annihilated them. All things considered, it was a pretty good experience from a hack and slash...

If one of your clan's fiefs is under siege, and your character is not there, fight as your governor. This way you can participate in high stakes battles not initiated by the player. By keeping this system confined to governors it keeps the focus on the clan. I personally really like the body...

It seems the game crashes about halfway through defending varcheg from a Battanian siege. It also seem like the AI had a hard time scaling siege towers and using ladders. They seem to just blob up and send one guy up the tower at a time. I had high graphics and 1000 enemies. Varcheg at a...

I think in sieges it it would work a lot better if the defenders were not able to open the gate when it is currently being rammed by the battering ram. So they would actually have to sally out to handle the people manning it or attack them with ranged weapons. As it is currently the defenders...
